Throughout Kyle’s professional life, he’s contributed to raising millions of dollars for collegiate annual funds, served as business manager to arts programs, and he is most proud of the educational programs he’s been able to save, build and allow to thrive. Previous keynote presentations include: “Get Out The Windex!, The Shattering Truth of our Glass Ceiling“, “Endorsement vs. Portrayal, The Dangers of American Musical Theater“, and “Reynolds Rules: A Guide to Fearless Public Speaking”. Kyle is currently the Director of Theater at Kingswood Oxford in West Hartford, CT.
